The Nation Publishes Ethnically Motivated Anti-White Hate Propaganda

A “journalist,” Max Berger, has published the following at The Nation magazine. You really have to read it to believe it. Given the status of The Nation among the elite left cognoscenti, it warrants a thorough review.

How to Understand White Male Terrorism
We’ve been here before, and we know that violent backlash is at its
fiercest when movements for racial and gender justice are winning.

Everywhere I look lately, there are signs of white men panicking about their supremacy over American society.

A group of white men shot at young Black Lives Matter protesters on
consecutive nights in Minneapolis last weekend, injuring five people.
Donald Trump, still a leading Republican presidential candidate,
proposed creating a database and ID cards for Muslims, leading even some
Republicans to label him as a fascist. White Student Unions are popping
up around the country in response to demands that university
administrations do more to fight racism on campus. Finally, Robert Dear
opened fire at a Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood clinic last week,
killing three people and injuring nine.

As a white man [??; see below], I want to understand what it is about
the ideas of “whiteness” or “America” that’s causing white American
males to be the country’s largest terror threat. Why isn’t white
violence that is intended to shut down black movements, or male violence
intended to intimidate women, considered terrorism by so many?

Berger also fails to mention that evidence suggests the Minneapolis shooting was in self-defense
against Black attackers. He also fails to mention the Roseburg, Oregon
shooting rampage perpetrated by the half-Black Chris Harper Miller. But,
as we’ll see, building a factual case is not Berger’s strong suit.

I want to understand why, at this particular moment, white American men seem to be losing their minds.

Since the civil-rights movement, the Republican establishment — the
big bankers and CEOs that actually run the party — have danced with
racists in the white grassroots by conflating racism and fear of the
government.

Instead of providing all Americans with decent healthcare,
education, jobs, or housing, the racist white grassroots and rich
establishment agreed that everyone should be on their own — so black
people and immigrants don’t accidentally get anything good. [. . .]

However, Berger is making an important point insofar as Republicans
do race-bait and engage in implicit White identity politics (guns, gays,
abortion . . .) to get voters. The problem is that they do not defend the interests of Whites. This is evident in the panic of GOP elites at Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, et al.
faring so poorly and the ascendancy of Donald Trump. Rather, Republican
politicians are slaves to the media and their donors, and therefore
serve only the interests of Big Business and Israel.

The political institutions through which our society is
supposed to deal with these problems have been captured by the same
interests that are causing the problems. Democracy—rule of the people,
by the people, for the people—is in peril.

The emergence of fascism has always depended upon democracy’s
failure. The growing proto-fascist, white-supremacist movement in the
Republican Party is preying upon non-rich white people who are literally
dying of despair, turning to drugs and suicide to deal with a reality
they can’t bear, and a society they believe doesn’t care for them. Over
the past 15 years, the death rate for white men has actually
increased — an unprecedented rise in modern times that’s comparable to
the emergence of the AIDS epidemic. White people are right that they are
under attack — they’re just pointing to the wrong culprits. For the
wealthy elite who fund the political operatives and media companies that
tell white people who to blame for their plight, the race war is a very
useful substitute for the class war.

Ignoring the will of the people on opposing immigration is
“democracy”? Trump’s bringing unprecedented attention to this issue in
the presidential campaign is “fascism”? What Berger doesn’t want to talk
about is the failure of elites in both parties to look out for the
interests of White Americans, and you don’t have to be on the
Alternative Right to notice this. Here is Ross Douthat in the New York Times: “freaking out over Trump-the-fascist is a good way for the political class to ignore the legitimate reasons he’s
gotten this far — the deep disaffection with the Republican Party’s
economic policies among working-class conservatives, the reasonable
skepticism about the bipartisan consensus favoring ever more mass
low-skilled immigration, the accurate sense that the American elite has
misgoverned the country at home and abroad.”
Berger again:

What’s new in this moment is the Republican
establishment’s losing control of the grassroots for the first time in
the post–civil rights era. Instead of the corporate Republicans winning
the white vote with coded racist language, the grassroots outsiders are
competing with one another to be more and more openly racist.

Berger is terrified that White identity could overtake the Republican
Party’s traditional strategy of controlled race-baiting while doing
nothing to change the status quo. But if the candidacy of Donald Trump
illustrates anything, “racist language” is not enough any more when it
comes from establishment politicians with a record of being long on
promises and short on delivery.

Does Berger realize that Ben Carson, by all accounts an idiot, is
supported by so many Republicans precisely because they want to prove
their anti-racist credentials by supporting a Black candidate? And yes,
non-rich White people should blame ruling elites and their elected
representatives for undermining their interests.

In this moment of polarization, those who politically,
economically, or emotionally depend upon the domination of black people
are forced to cling ever harder to their hatred.

Typical meaningless post-Freudian psycho-babble. No need to link to
any evidence whatever that Whites depend on Blacks for any of the above
(see stats on welfare use cited previously).

The successes of past movements are good indications that
the polarization happening across America will be, in sum, a good
thing. The mask is slipping and more people are seeing the violence
inherent in maintaining white supremacy and empire. The courage and
wisdom of this generation of young black leaders [sic] has already
shifted the scope of what’s possible in a very short amount of time. [. .
.]

But for every cop charged with murder for killing a black child,
there is a Darren Wilson [who was obviously innocent of any wrongdoing].
For every city full of young black leaders transforming this country
for the better, there is a potential Dylann Roof. The process of ending
white supremacy will make this a better country for everyone, but in the
struggle it will almost certainly bring more pain to those who already
suffer most.

White supremacy is a source of constant terror to people of color and
is damaging to the humanity and prosperity of people who are considered
white. [sic] So, what would it take for the sad, angry people clinging
to their whiteness to have something else to feel good about? How can
other white people hasten the end of an America that depends on
violence, exclusion, and domination?

The answer, of course, is to deny the existence of race entirely. In Berger’s data-free world,
people are only “considered white”; there is no reality to being White.
And given Berger’s premise, there can be no legitimate White interests.
This a common technique to oppress and disorganize a people: Deny its
very existence. Jewish Zionists have also used this technique against
Palestinians, with the usual shameless chutzpah.

I think, as Ta-Nehisi Coates says, that it will take us
waking other white people up to the myth of their whiteness. People
believe they are white because someone told them they are. [!] Who is
white has shifted over time to reflect the political needs of those in
power, and will continue to change. Americans have to learn that race is
invented [an idiotic view; see previous two links], but the experience
and rules of racism are all too real. Moving beyond white supremacy will
require more of us that “believe ourselves to be white” to confront
some tragic, simple human truths: Life is short and fragile, each of us
has very little control over our fates, and we all belong to the world;
it does not belong to us.

The myth of white America depends upon denying these basic, shared
aspects of our humanity. It means denying the terror we inflict upon
others to enable our domination — and seeing every act that opposes our
domination as terrorism. The myth will continue to have power until
white Americans realize we are connected to the other peoples of this
country and this world, that “whiteness” is a myth invented for profit,
and that America is an imagined political community like any other, and
is only good if we make it so.

I have come to believe the fears of white Americans are really just
reflections of the things that white supremacy and empire have done to
others. White America has not been terrorized by people of color; we
have terrorized people of color.

Berger is denying the tragedy of many, many thousands of innocent
Whites who have been raped, murdered, or otherwise victimized by
non-Whites. And how strange that, despite supposed White terrorizing of
people of color, so many Africans, Muslims, and Mestizos are still
so eager to force their way into the West — to mooch off our rule of
law, our welfare states, our job markets, our harmonious societies,
which they have so far failed to produce in their ancestral lands.

Black wealth is not based on stealing from white people; white wealth is based on stealing from black people.

I guess White people steal from Blacks and then support the great
majority of Black households via welfare? Again, data-free, viciously
anti-White nonsense.

Instead of confronting the reality of our history and
what our country has become for most people, too many Americans would
rather kill those mourning their dead and send orphans and widows to a
hellscape we created [here Berger might want to ponder the complicity
of sections of his own ethnic community — the Israel Lobby and neocons
— in creating the hellscape in the Middle East]— all in order to
preserve the myths of whiteness, masculinity, and empire [actually, it
was about the welfare of Israel].

I have to imagine the white men who commit these egregious acts of
terror do so out of a silent, personal fear that the myths of whiteness
and masculinity engender in themselves [or, more likely, that a job in
the military looked a lot better than other options available in an
economy that is brutal for working class White Americans]. The
dehumanization white supremacists perpetrate on others has to be, in
part, a projection of the dehumanization they feel themselves. [Huh??
Classic psychobabble.] The sad men that hang out on 4chan plotting the
destruction of innocent others don’t believe they can be the strong,
virile, white male dominators they are prescribed to be. No one who
feels good about themselves talks as much as Donald Trump does about how
he is a “winner” and other people are “losers.” [I’d say that Trump has
billions of reasons to feel good about himself.] No one who is
confident of their humanity would deny acceptance to a 5-year-old orphan
refugee [so, I guess Israelis have absolutely no confidence in their
humanity, given that they have refused all {non-Jewish} refugees].

And yet, these white, American men are taught they must be silent in
considering their fear, because to even admit they feel it would be to
undo the myths of whiteness and masculinity they cling to.

This last paragraph is yet another beautifully data-free example of
psychobabble. Let me help you, Mr. Berger: many White men feel they
cannot speak out because they would be swiftly punished (lose their job,
slandered) for voicing any degree of White identity, any
defense of their collective interests, or any criticism of non-Whites,
no matter how true. Meanwhile, Jews organize with the ADL, Blacks with
the NAACP, Hispanics with the National Council of La Raza [sic], etc.

I can’t claim to have answers about how we get more white
Americans to treat others as human beings. I do believe that all
Americans would be better off if we moved beyond white supremacy and
empire, and it’s the responsibility of white people to say so. They are
myths that rob us all of our humanity, and keep us from uniting against
the plutocrats that are stealing our future. I have faith in this
generation of leaders of color, and hope they will lead a multi-racial
coalition that will uproot white supremacy, once and for all. I hope
that white people will follow their lead, as well as join organizations
like SURJthat prepare white people to contribute to the struggle against white supremacy.

I have to believe that the next task of our movements —not just the
movement for black lives but all of our movements — is to put forth a
vision of what it means to be an American that’s based on a recognition
of our shared humanity. In the 21st century, we can’t keep living on
systems designed for a time before emancipation, electricity, or public
education.

We have to put forth a vision of what this country and our
lives could be like if it actually was designed to work for all its
people.

Personally, I have never read such a deceitful, misleading pack of
anti-White lies as this particular article. And I read a lot of this
garbage. Really Berger has provided a highly-useful synthesis of all the
lies and sophistry which are constantly used against our people.

Berger highlights the “one neat trick” central to all pilpul: It is easier to shamelessly assert a lie than to honestly prove a truth!

But let me point out the central flaw in Berger’s narrative: If there
is “White supremacy” in the United States, why is it that White people —
who largely oppose immigration — are about to become a minority in their own country even though most of Whites oppose the immigration deluge?
The country which the Founding Fathers created explicitly for them, on
the time-tested theory that one can only build a genuine nation among
peoples of similar ethnic origin.

And, if more and more Whites, especially young White men, are
awakening to White identity, it is because the Internet has allowed us,
finally, to become aware of the injustices committed against us: Our massive under-representation in the Ivy League universities and much of the mass media (here, p. xlviff); the singular unfairness and hypocrisy that we cannot speak up and organize to defend our legitimate collective interests, while every other group can.

Finally, we cannot do nothing as — not just in North America, but
also in Western Europe and Australia and New Zealand — Whites are
becoming a minority, a vulnerable minority which will be liable to
victimized by an ever-aggrieved non-White majority.

Now, Berger is a German name. But personally, I can sort of tell when
a brainwashed, smugly ignorant White person is bashing his own people
in order to be fashionable. No, Berger’s piece reeks with race hatred against our people. And sure enough:

Berger claims to write “as a white man,” and claims to lament the
injustices that “we” Whites are committing against others. He is in fact
an ethnically motivated, deceitful hypocrite. He “deeply believe[s] in
the Jewish people’s right to self-determination” and yet claims that the
mere organization of student unions for European-Americans, a massively under-represented
minority in many elite universities based on IQ and test scores, is a
sign of wanting to maintain racial injustice on campus. Jews, he claims,
have a right to determine their own destiny, but any self-assertion by people of European descent is “fascism.”

By the way, Berger “works at Vice, is a co-founder of the
Momentum Trainings [which appears to be some kind of lucrative diversity
scam] and was a leading participant in Occupy Wall Street.” Berger’s
role at Occupy Wall Street was presumably to distract protestors from
noticing massive Jewish over-representation
among Wall Street executives (Goldman Sachs . . .) and Federal Reserve
chairman, and to divert their animosity towards Whites. “Evil Whites
control America, goyim, there’s certainly been no
ethno-plutocratic capture of America’s key financial-cultural
institutions by a tiny clique of notoriously clannish Middle Easterners
who are related to each other like fifth cousins!”

Oh yes, Mr. Berger, tell us about “White supremacy.” Tell us why
Jewish oligarchs Sheldon Adelson and Haim Saban work every day to defend
the interests of their people, while Rupert Murdoch and Bill Gates
undermine Whites through support for displacement-level immigration.
Tell us how Hollywood, the Ivy Leagues, Noam Chomksy, the New York Times
and Jon Stewart Liebowitz fit into this “White supremacist” America you
claim exists. Tell us to whose money and whose media both the
Republicans and the Democrats answer to.

No, you are an ethnically-motivated, hair-splitting, sophistic,
mendacious, lying, anti-White communist You-Know-Who. And after the
Revolution, I dare say, such mendacious and ultimately genocidal hate
propaganda against our people will be severely punished.

Me, I’m a conciliatory sort. I really do think everyone can find
reasonable solutions if men of good will work together to resolve their
differences. As such, I invite our readers to tweet at Mr. Berger
to tell him how they feel about his anti-White hate propaganda, about
his hypocritical denial of European self-determination and support for
Jewish self-determination, and about why he, for some reason, wants to
send Muslim “refugees” to America and not to Israel. You can also write to The Nation’s editors
(and possibly their advertisers) and threaten raise hell or boycott
unless such anti-White bullying is removed and desisted from.
